The Hazels aim to become the UK's most influential independent movement changing attitudes, perceptions and practices towards skills, using the UK space sector as the catalyst.
The Hazels annual Awards Gala is just the start. Our future vision includes programmes, education, research, consulting, and providing accreditations to educators and employers championing skills in the UK.
“The country needs a whole system reset” - Alan Milburn
More than that, The Hazels believes the country needs a whole-scale attitude reset - where skills are valued as equal to academia; where skilled workers can inspire and nurture the next generation; and where skills are aspirational.
One aim of the Hazels is to showcase how the UK Space industry is using traditional crafts and skills, such as sewing, knitting and bricklaying are repurposed to support space innovation, as well as celebrating excellence in engineering, data science and the many more skills used within the UK Space industry.
